Google is the big story in Cuba. The internet giant is set to enter the island thanks to President Obama, who has used US businesses as a means to improve relations with Cuba.

President Obama continued his historic visit to Cuba with a speech directed at the Cuban people Tuesday morning at Havana's Grand Theater, broadcast live on Cuban TV.

 

Cuban entrepreneurs, U.S. business people and prominent Cuban-Americans has applauded President Barack Obama's call to help private businesses in Cuba.

Instead of blocking off the forces of American capitalism, the Obama administration now wants them to come flooding in —and leave it up to the Cuban government to deal with the consequences.

Higinio Velez, chairman of the Cuban Baseball Federation, highlighted that the island nation is willing to let its baseball players go to the U.S.

This is a new day in U.S.-Cuban relations, President Obama said Monday, as he noted that "for more than half a century, the sight of a U.S. president here in Havana would have been unimaginable."
